the last priest

"A beast, don't worry, I'll wipe it for you..." Under Chaozi's big hand, Tang Yuanshan has completely become Guan Gong...

It was not a stone slab, but a bronze plate, one meter long and less than half a meter wide, engraved with a series of incomprehensible characters on the surface, very similar to the runes commonly used by Cha Wenbin. With a little patina.

There are a pair of earrings on each side of the bronze plate. On the earrings are thick chains, and each has a big lock to lock the chains, which is very mysterious.

In the past, Chaozi might have thought that there was a treasure buried here, but now he has a bad premonition in his heart.He heard from Cha Wenbin that in the past, some corpses that showed signs of death would be locked in bronze coffins. Could there be something bad down here?Tang Yuanshan's thinking was completely opposite to Chaozi's. He thought that the ordinary things unearthed before were just a trick of his ancestors. With the strength of the Tang family, there must be rich treasures buried here.

"Brother Wenbin, do you still have time? I might ask you to come down."

Two minutes later, Cha Wenbin and Zhuo Xiong went down into the pit one after another.

"Is the lock unlocked?" "Not yet, I guess there is something wrong, I want you to make sure first."

Zha Wenbin measured the bronze plate with his hand, and then probed to see the sky. It was estimated that it would be dawn in 5 minutes, but the coffin had already been disposed of.

"This is a ghost-suppressing talisman. The talisman is not fired, but directly engraved on this copper plate the day after tomorrow. But the strength is so easy to do, and it is done in one go from beginning to end. It is actually from the hands of an expert. "

Chaozi added: "Using a sharp weapon to make talismans on a copper plate without panting, giving Dashan a diamond drill bit may be able to hit half of it. How strong is this person."

Cha Wenbin squatted down and looked at the gully on the rune, and said, "It doesn't have to be a sharp weapon. Ingenuity is much more useful than brute force. Alchemists already had a way to do it more than 1000 years ago, and it's different from you before." Like gold bricks, the best way to deal with bronze is to use aqua regia."

"With strong acid?"

"Yes! However, since it is a ghost-suppressing talisman, there should be something under it, or it should be pasted on it just for the coffin."

Tang Yuanshan heard that there might be a ghost here, so he couldn't help but make up his mind. He thought that if something happened, it would be superfluous, so he asked: "Then Mr. Cha, do you still want to drive?"

"This place belongs to the Tang family. Naturally, you decide. My suggestion is that one more thing is worse than one less thing. Today's main purpose is to send the ancestors back to Fu Qian's grave. If you really want to inquire, you can find some people after you go back."

Just as he was talking, water suddenly splashed onto people's faces, and when he raised his head, Dashan was already shouting from above: "Come up quickly, it's raining heavily, don't wait for this place to be poured in."

A few people looked down and saw that this place was like a jug, and it was in the shade between the two, with sparse vegetation. There was a thunderstorm in July and there was a lot of rain, so it might be flooded.Tang Yuanshan also decided to go back first. Several people climbed up one after another and sealed the entrance of the tomb with gold bricks, and then specially covered it with a layer of waterproof rain cloth before lifting the coffin and leaving.

The coffin was very heavy. They had to go back to the camp first, and then follow the same route back there. If all went well, they might be able to reach the car park before this evening.The sky that was supposed to be bright was already pitch black, and raindrops the size of soybeans were crackling on people's faces. There were constant lightning strikes in the sky, and maybe a thunderbolt would strike in the next second.

It is not easy to go up the mountain in this rainy day. The muddy mountain road and the water potential make it difficult to walk.The big men carrying the coffin were panting heavily. Uncle Chang, that old Hong Kong farmer, had died a long time ago, so he could only grab Dashan's clothes at the moment, for fear that he would lose him.

Halfway up the mountain, Susu really couldn't do it anymore. With rain in her mouth, she suggested whether she should take a rest.Most of the people on the way back from the cemetery were at the end of their battles, and Tang Yuanshan was getting older, so he agreed to find a place to shelter from the rain.

There are two big trees that can shelter from the rain all around. They are a bit abrupt on this bare stone mountain, and the dense branches and leaves and the spread canopy can accommodate many people.After finally taking a breath, Tang Yuanshan could only wipe his face. A flash of lightning flashed by, and Zha Wenbin looked up. Tang Yuanshan's face was blood red, and he asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

"Hey, don't mention this. Your good brother wiped the bird with a knife, and all the blood splashed on my face. It was dark in the tomb just now. I guess you didn't notice it. I just took the time to take advantage of the heavy rain to wash it off. Put your face to death."

Cha Wenbin grabbed Chaozi who was eating dry food and asked, "Did you kill that bird?"

Chaozi was stuffing a compressed biscuit into his mouth, and nodded vaguely: "Well, I'll kill it, it's in the way."

"Where did you throw it?" He grabbed Chaozi's shoulder and shook it vigorously. This time, the biscuit was swallowed and stuck in Chaozi's throat. The kid almost fell over while grabbing the kettle I rolled my eyes.

After finally regaining his composure, he panted and said, "What are you doing, you almost killed me."

"I asked where did you lose the bird?"

"Where else can it be, in the grave."

Zha Wenbin frowned and said: "No, it might be something bad!" After finishing speaking, he immediately pinched his hands and made a final calculation, then looked up at the sky, and at this moment there was a group of flashes that were getting more and more concentrated. Suddenly, the sky seemed to be torn open, and Cha Wenbin shouted before it was too late: "Run! Run, everyone!"

As soon as the voice fell, he was the first to take the lead and rushed out, and the rest of the people also ran out subconsciously. They didn't realize it until they walked four or fifty meters. Why did they run?When they looked back, a huge flash of light flashed across the valley in the sky, and then there was a "rumbling".Immediately, the valley began to tremble and the mountains shook, even the ground under their feet could not stand still. A huge lightning bolt slashed down straight, and after a burst of flames, the two big trees were instantly torn apart. It splashed far away with burning flames, and it gradually extinguished after a while of rain...

The most shocking thing for a person is that he escaped from death a second later, and the death happened right in front of his eyes.Cha Wenbin's shout saved the lives of a group of people. It turned out that he saw that the lightning had formed, and here there was a living tree that had formed a lightning rod.After escaping this catastrophe, no one will doubt Cha Wenbin anymore, but the coffin that was carried out has also been turned over to the ground at this moment, and a huge gap has been split in the cover of the coffin. It was pitch black.

Seeing that his ancestor was struck by lightning as soon as he left the cemetery, Tang Yuanshan even wanted to die at this moment. It would be nonsense to say how much affection he had for his ancestor.But the fortune of his Tang family depended entirely on this. Seeing that he had offended his ancestor, Tang Yuanshan knelt on his knees in the heavy rain and only kowtowed to the coffin.Unexpectedly, what Dashan said made everyone fall into the mystery again in an instant.

Da Shan was about to lift up the coffin, but when he touched the opening, it was already the size of a washbasin, and the contents inside were completely clean, and he shouted at Tang Yuanshan in the rain: "Hey, then, stop kneeling , what are you crying about with a dead fox, could your ancestor be a monster?"

what, foxIs that guy joking?

But in the next second, he made everyone shut up, and Da Shan reached out to dig into the coffin, and under the stunned attention of everyone, a fox the size of a domestic dog was lifted up.

The fox's body was golden yellow, its fur was still bright, and the fangs on its mouth were still sharp, but the eye sockets had long since shriveled, and the hubs on its face had collapsed a bit. The stiff body told them that it was a fox corpse that had been dead for a long time.The fox corpse was still wearing some clothes on the outside, with a lining and a long gown. It looked like a human being, and when I squeezed the body, it was soft inside. When I took off the clothes, I saw that the stomach had been ripped open, and the inside was stuffed. It is full of precious spices and sealed with gold thread.

There were no other funerary objects in the coffin, but there was another shriveled corpse, and some kind of white feathers scattered all over the coffin.

Chaozi pinched the feather of the bird and said: "I kind of understand why the white phoenix is ​​going down. Those who are buried here are its ancestors, the fox and the chicken, natural rivals! But Mr. Tang, your ancestors sang Where did it come from, take this thing back and bury it, can it bless Feng Shui?"

Tang Yuanshan was even more baffled. He saw the coffin being dug up with his own eyes. The tomb photo said it was correct. The gold bricks were more in line with the identity of the Tang family. Why did a fox lie in the coffin.

At this time, only Cha Wenbin hadn't lost his footsteps, thinking to himself: Patriarch, do you want to split the coffin to let me see the truth after this rain? If so, you stop the rain, and I will turn back.

Coincidentally, just as he finished thinking about it, the rain really stopped immediately.Summer thunderstorms come and go quickly, and within 3 minutes, the morning glow appeared, and the sky cleared up.
